11、of 2018 because of slow sales of iPhones, markets were shockedBut Apples pain is humans gain. The fact that these magical devices are now so popular is something to be celebrated.”可知，苹果公司因iPhone销量缓慢而降低2018年第四季度的预期收益。但苹果公司的痛苦是人类的收获。这些神奇的装置（即智能手机）现在如此流行，这（智能手机销量下降）是值得庆祝的。由此可知，作者之所以认为智能手机销量下降是件好事，那是因为这
12、种现象恰恰表明了智能手机已经非常普及，人们购买更换手机的速度不那么快了。D选项正确。22.B 【解析】推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“Moreover, smartphones also provide a foundation for extra innovations, like mobile payments and video streaming, and for future ones, such as controlling “smart” home equipment or robotaxis.”可知，此外，智能手机还为移动支付和视频流等额外创新提供了基础，也为未来的创新提供了基
13、础，比如控制“智能”家用设备或机器人出租车。由此可以推知，未来智能手机可能能够控制机器人出租车，那么，人类未来可能能够乘坐由智能手机控制的机器人出租车。故B选项正确。23.D 【解析】主旨大意题。这篇文章实际上是一篇新闻报道类文章。该类文章第一段就是中心段。概括第一段可知，苹果公司因iPhone销量缓慢而降低2018年第四季度的预期收益，遭受巨大损失。但苹果公司的痛苦是人类的收获。下文分析了产生这种现象的原因。文章最后仍然强调了这一点：The recent slowing of smartphone sales is bad news for the industry, obviously.
14、But for the rest of humans it is a welcome sign that a transformative technology has become almost universal.（显然，最近智能手机销量放缓对该行业来说是个坏消息。但对其他人来说，这是一个可喜的信号，表明一项变革性技术已经几乎普及。）。故综合上述陈述，文章标题应该为D选项：苹果公司的坏消息，人类的好消息。故D选项切题。BIf 62 is the number in red on the top of your math test, for most of us, its a total d
15、isaster. Your entire week is ruined, and 62 is what races through your head for the rest of the day.

16、sing judgment on others based on personality are gone, and now we judge based on how good a persons numbers are. We compare ourselves to the numbers of others, such as how low another persons weight is how high their paycheck. Self-worth is no longer based on quality of character, but quantity of nu
17、mbers.In todays social media consumed society, it has never been easier for people to broadcast their numbers to the world. A simple click of a button can take you to a page where you can observe the number of friends or followers a person has. Teenagers have taken on this mentality that if you dont
18、 have a certain number of followers, then you arent “cool”. Many feel they are not important if very few people are witnessing their status updates. This state of mind is harmful and not at all accurate. Twitter and Facebook can let the world witness your updates, but they will never let anyone see
19、who you really are. In the end. self-worth should be based on what you think of yourself, not what the world thinks of you.So next time you receive a failing grade or you lose a follower, remember that these things cannot and should not define(定义)you.

20、living and breathing person with ideas and creativity and love that the rigidity of numbers cannot represent.

22、ur Number That MattersD. Lets Stop Sharing Our Numbers【语篇解读】这是一篇议论文。文章揭示了一种社会现象：现在，人们的自我价值不再是以品质为基础，而是以数字为基础。人们往往根据数字去评判自己或别人。作者在文中通过论述得出结论：不能也不应该让数字定义一个人。人不是数字，人有呼吸，有生命力，有创造力，有爱。24.A 【解析】推理判断题。根据第二段的叙述可知：我们的生活已经成为一个由等级，评估和数字构成的系统。现在我们往往根据数字来判断一个人。自我价值不再是以品质为基础的，而是以数字为基础。很显然，根据这一段的叙述可知，以数字来评判人显然是不合适
23、的。由此可以推知，作者对于评判人的标准的变化感到遗憾。故A选项正确。25.C 【解析】推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Teenagers have taken on this mentality that if you dont have a certain number of followers, then you arent“cool”. Many feel they are not important if very few people are witnessing their status updates.”可知，很多青少年认为如果他们没有一定数量的“追随者”，他们就不够“酷”。他们认为
24、，如果几乎没有人看他们（在社交网络上）的状态更新，他们就不重要。由此可以推知，在青少年看来，当他们在社交网络上得到很多人的关注时，他们才会感觉很“酷”。故C选项正确。26.B 【解析】主旨大意题。作者在前两段中提到一种社会现象：现在，人们的自我价值不再是以品质为基础，而是以数字为基础。人们往往根据数字去评判自己或别人。在第三段中的，作者明确提出：自我价值应该基于你对自己的看法，而不是世人对你的看法。最后一段中，作者提出：不能也不应该让数字定义一个人。人不是数字，人有呼吸，有生命力，有创造力，有爱。总之一句话：你不只是一个数字。故B选项适合作文章标题。CIt was a cold and wet
25、 night. I had just left a local club to travel home when I lost control of my car. I crashed into a car, then hit a tree. The force was so great that it shunted(使移开) the parked car several meters forwards. I was knocked out cold. Worse still, I had no idea that a fire had started under the bonnet(引擎
26、盖)of my car. It then set the tree on fire.Driving in the car behind me was a young man, who I later found out was called Jared. He saw the accident occur, and stopped to help me out of the burning car. He put his own life in danger when he got into the back seat to try to undo my seat belt. This was
27、nt easy because Id hit the car on my drivers side and my seat belt was squeezed into the console(操纵台).With my seat belt undone, Jared then hit open the drivers window to drag me out as I had still not regained consciousness. He bravely did this while my car and the tree were burning. Woken by the cr
28、ash, the homeowners came out to investigate. Jared told them to ring emergency services. I was rushed to the Royal Adelaide Hospital in a serious condition. I eventually woke up a day later.I owe my life to Jared and I consider him a friend due to the special bond. Jared says that although the event

Jared, my best friendD.A frightening car fire【文章大意】本文是记叙文。作者遭遇车祸，失去了知觉。在汽车起火的危急时刻，年轻的Jared不顾自身安危，勇敢地对作者施以援救之手，最终
32、挽救了作者的生命。27.B 【解析】考查推理判断。根据第一段中的The force was so great that.I was knocked out cold可知，作者被撞昏了，knock sb.out cold意为把某人撞得不省人事。第三段中的I had still not regained consciousness亦是提示。故选B。28.A 【解析】考查细节理解。根据第二段中的when he got into the back seat to try to undo my seat belt可知，Jared进入后座的目的是解开作者的安全带，故选A。29.C 【解析】考查推理判断。根
33、据最后一段中的I consider him a friend due to the special bond可知，因为这种特殊的纽带，作者认为Jared是他的朋友。再结合上文可知，the special bond指的就是Jared把作者从着火的汽车里拖到安全之处，故选C。30.B 【解析】考查主旨要义。根据全文内容可知，本文主要讲述了作者遭遇车祸时，Jared不顾自身安危勇敢出手相救的故事，故B项一次勇敢的撞车救援最适合当标题。第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Actions speak louder t

38、.

41、婴儿只是抬起头来，带着婴儿特有的灿烂笑容望着他。下一句提到：不久之后，他就开始和婴儿的妈妈交谈了起来。该空呈上启下，应该谈到他看到婴儿笑容之后的最初反应。故A选项切题：他也对婴儿报以微笑。33.F 【解析】该段以“phone smile”为例，建议人们在打电话的时候微笑，你的微笑可以通过你的声音传递出去。该空位于段首，应该对下面的例子从理论上进行说明。很明显，打电话的时候你是看不见对方的。因此，该选项应该表明的是在看不见对方的时候微笑也会起作用。故F选项切题。34.B 【解析】前一句提出一个问题：你不喜欢微笑？ 下一句提到：如果你孤身一人，就强迫自己吹口哨、哼一首歌或唱歌。那么该空承上启下，要
42、回答上面的问题，表明在你不喜欢微笑的时候该怎么做。结合后面一句的内容，很明显，在你不喜欢微笑的时候，你要强迫自己微笑。故B选项正确。35.E 【解析】上一句提到：你的微笑是你善意的使者。下一句提到：对那些见过十几个人皱眉或转过脸的人来说，你的微笑就像太阳穿透云层。该句呈上启下，要表达出微笑的作用来。故E选项正确：你的微笑照亮了所有看到它的人的生活。第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分45分）第一节 完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题纸上将该项涂黑。Growing up in Kenya
